Your Pitch Validates a Blogger’s Status

When sending a good pitch to a blogger it’s not only about making sure you’ll get a good response rate as your request is relevant, that also proves that you acknowledge the bloggers’ value and importance for your outreach campaign. Bloggers feel offended when they receive a bad pitch mainly because they feel that the PR and Marketing pros don’t pay attention to what they do. Many of them write out of passion and put a lot of energy in it.

Making bloggers feel that they are not sending the right message to their audience or that you don’t care enough about what they do in order to read their blog and then send a customized pitch is not a good option if you want your blogger outreach campaign to be successful.
